No, blonde hair and blue eyes is not an exclusive Nordic trait, and you can not determine somebody's race or sub-race by just looking at their skin/eye/hair color. Facial and bone structure must be taken into consideration as well.

No. Blonde Hair and blue eyes are not a viking trait, but a central Asian trait - people in the northern parts of Iran and southern Russia (today Central Asia) were blonde and blue eyed. The vikings had dark hair and dark eyes. When they came to central Asia, they discovered blonde/blue eyed women and began kidnapping them and using them to populate Norway, Sweden and Finland. So, the central Asian people were blond and blue eyed. Many Iranians fled to Europe and populated Ireland, France, and the rest of Eastern European Continent when the Arabs invaded Iran and during mongol invasions. So, Iranian art and culture was transported to Europe and became incorporated into European customs and art. That is why Iranian languages have so much in common with Gaelic, French, Latin, German, etc and these are called Irano-European languages.
